What a find, it’s been here for years, why haven’t I eaten here before. It’s fantastic. Great food, great drinks and a fab service. It deserves every one of the five star rating. Highly recommended for breakfast or lunch.

We had lunch today at Lockside on the terrace, perfect! Food as good as ever & well presented & prepared with love.Just amazing to be with our friends after so long, but to feel safe was also so important. Great to see Gary & his team, nothing was too much trouble.All well priced, so difficult to choose a favourite but we all had different meals & the plates went back clean!Such a lovely was to start going out again, thank you Gary.

Just enjoyed a lovely breakfast outdoors with 6 friends socially distancing outside in glorious sunshine this Wednesday , All the breakfasts looked great, I had scrambled egg on brown toast with sliced avocado & coffee What a great place to start the Wednesday off, sat out in the sun, on the terrace with a beautiful blue sky.I can recommend Lockside whilst socially distancing is occurring - yes you are required to wear a mask on entering & leaving , even out on the Terrace.Yes Gary has an emergency supply of masks !Thank you Gary & your lovely Team for looking after us for the past few months, we are all going to miss the coffees, breakfasts, you & the happy looking faces, take care Team we will return.

One of my favourite places to eat in Bristol! Wonderful to be back there today for lunch with a friend. Huge thanks to Gary and the team for looking after us so well as always. Fantastic food at very reasonable prices, lovely friendly staff and a very Covid safe environment. I can highly recommend their big breakfasts, and the Homemade Beef Burger with relish and chips I had today was quite simply delicious! Can’t wait to visit again.

Soy un semi regular aquí principalmente con nietos que aman el ambiente y por supuesto la comida.Llevé a mi nieta un domingo ajetreado y le encantó el desayuno durante todo el día, que es mi favorito.Ok, no es barato, pero la calidad es perfecta y el personal trabaja muy duro para brindarle un buen servicio.Procedimiento Covid muy bien manejado en su lugar.

Bueno, reservamos para 2 y uno de los adolescentes se animó, así que después del "tienes que estar bromeando" inicial del maître, él sí nos acomodó y fue absolutamente encantador cuando los embistieron. Menú exactamente lo que necesitábamos: butty de huevo para adolescentes, schnitzel para mi hermana y sándwich de carne y patatas fritas. Servicio 10/10 también a pesar de que fueron rotundos. El bistec estaba cocinado a la perfección, pero mi única queja es que el pan de masa fermentada es demasiado difícil de comer tostado y la jalea de cebolla no es muy sabrosa. Lo siento. Realmente amo este lugar cada vez. Volveremos y prometemos reservar el número correcto la próxima vez

Decepcionado con nuestro brunch. Suena encantador en el menú, pero llegó en platos de gran tamaño, por lo que se agregó un montón de cohetes para llenar el espacio. La burbuja y el chirrido no tenían sabor. Sin condimentos y muy poca g en la papa. No se había frito para formar un fondo crujiente demasiado y como se esperaba y estaba frío. Los huevos escalfados estaban bien. Había demasiados champiñones en mi plato y, de nuevo, no tenía condimentos ni sabor. Pedí una guarnición de salchicha que tuve que pedir de nuevo ya que se olvidó, era el plato más sabroso del plato. El menú infiere que obtienes tostadas y té o café con tu brunch, pero de hecho se cobran como extra.Le mencionamos a la mesera que estábamos decepcionados con la burbuja y el chirrido, ¡y ella nos informó que deliberadamente no la sazonan! Gran error.Pagamos 26. 85 para un brunch decepcionante.

Regrese después de haber disfrutado de un fantástico desayuno en este peculiar restaurante. Sentado debajo de parte de Cumberland Basin, uno podría pensar que no es un lugar ideal. . . . Nos sentamos en el balcón bajo el sol de septiembre, casi no había ruido del tráfico y desde el principio todo el personal nos trató muy bien.El menú es completo y apetitoso. Yo tenía huevos escalfados sobre una cama de burbujas y chirridos, Rocket y cubiertos con una deliciosa salsa holandesa mientras mi esposo tenía un gran inglés (!) Todo recién cocinado.Un montón de recargas de café y té.Las restricciones de Covid estaban vigentes y muy bien cumplidas.Bien hecho Lockside, tienes un lugar perfecto para disfrutar de un desayuno perfecto con un personal perfecto.

We'd regularly walk past the Lockside on our daily lockdown strolls and look longingly over to see the shutters down and all quiet. So we were delighted to see you open earlier this month and, though there has been a few necesary changes - to make us and you COVID safe - the warm welcome, excellent food and great service still remain the same. We missed you so much and being able to come and enjoy tasty food, great coffee and a little chat on the terrace makes these strange times a bit more bearable.

In Bristol visiting a sick relative. A family member brought me here for lunch. I didn't know the place existed. Simple to park. But you do have to pay. However this is Bristol where you have to pay to park on every street. Gggggrrrrr. So not the restaurant's fault. Warm welcome. V. up on their COVID-19 protocols. Menu made me want to eat. Not the usual suspects - I think I wanted four starters, and five main dishes. Opted for the poached haddock with crushed potatoes.Good presentation, tasty, hot. Delicious. Fairly priced. Excellent service by the staff. I have no hesitation in recommending this place. I would certainly eat here again given the opportunity. I wish them well for the future. This restaurant deserves to be survive. Good effort by the staff. The food is worth the price charged.

The food wasn't amazing it was ok. But its not cheap so therefore I had higher expectations. The bacon was so salty and dry i just couldn't eat it. The other thing I didnt like was the noise levels, really horrible and too difficult to hear anything even someone next to me was saying. Lovely waitresses and staff, no faults there and a great location, Need to up their game if they continue with the prices they charge.

Great location, great service and a good varied menu. BUT the food is not that great for the prices charged. The bacon was very dry and salty, on both occasions that i have been recently and the sausages are very rich. The main issue I have is the noise inside the cafe, there cant be any sound proofing so its so difficult to hear what friends are saying. I also found the chairs very uncomfortable. A few tweaks and this place could be so much better.

Went here for a late breakfast. The poached egg on bubble and squeak with smoked salmon and hollandaise looked really tasty and appetising but unfortunately it was completely lacking in any flavour. The bubble and squeak had hard bits of cabbage stalk and had no seasoning whatsoever and was totally bland. The eggs were also rather tasteless. Even the addition of the hollandaise sauce couldn't lift it. We did mention it to the guy who cleared our plates but he pointed to the salt on the table and said people can add their own but in our opinion something like potato needs seasoning to be incorporated not just put on the top. The best thing about the breakfast was the sourdough toast on the side. We've been before and enjoyed the food, even though its a bit pricey, but sadly not this time.

Such a great place to eat, either with friends or family. We love meeting here with our dear friends every month. We eat, chat & just enjoy the atmosphere of others doing the same. The food is consistently brilliant in my opinion, made from locally sourced ingredients & prepared & presented with care & attention. The staff are attentive without being over the top, always helpful & welcoming. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Today they even sang Happy birthday to our friend , which was a lovely touch and not too embarrassing?! I always feel sorry that we never admire the beautiful view from the window of Bristol's harbour side, some great walks from Lockside either before or after breakfast, all with good accessible paths too. Lockside has a disabled parking space and easier access from there. Plenty of other parking by the side or just outside too. We never feel rushed eating here, I always feel it's like home but without having to cook or wash the dishes after, thank you to Gary and his team. See you after our holiday.

We visit Lockside for breakfast usually, so it was lovely to go for lunch with friends that had only been there once before. We certainly weren't disappointed, we were greeted with the great friendly welcome and shown to our table looking out to the amazing views of Bristol. Slightly quieter lunch than breakfast time, but that didn't change the atmosphere of people enjoying themselves, a nice feeling of life going on! A really good lunch menu to choose from too, with 'specials' of the day. The four of us chose Broccoli & Stilton soup for starters, which came with a separate serving of croutons to add if you wished. I must mention the crockery at this point, great shaped soup bowls & plates, somehow added to the best Broccoli & Stilton soup I've ever tasted and I make lots of soups myself, I meant to ask for their recipe but maybe it's a secret?! Four empty soup bowls, truly yummy. Mains were equally as good, special of lamb chops, served with green beans & rosemary potatoes for two of us, and then the others had smoked haddock with crushed new potatoes & poached egg with a chive & I can't remember delicious sauce. Well I had the haddock, and for a usually slow eater I finished first and savoured every mouthful, didn't want that to finish. The haddock was cooked to perfection just flaking as the fork went in, delicious. Although I didn't have the lamb chops, they looked meaty & I was told were so tasty, supplied locally too. All four of us had puddings too, which again were prepared with care & attention, served with a smile and excellent service. We all came away full to bursting but very content, we weren't hurried at all & spent three hours over lunch, chatting and catching up with our friends. All looking forward to booking again very soon. As we were leaving another table was ordering afternoon tea, umm we haven't tried that yet, but lunch would be difficult to beat! Gary & his team work incredibly hard to achieve such high standards, we would love to visit more often. Thank you

A friend invited me and sixteen others to join her for Bubble and Brunch to celebrate her 70th birthday. Gary and his team did us proud. Everybody enjoyed the ambience and the super selection of brunch. I thought it was so good that I have already booked a table for brunch to celebrate my husbands 75th birthday soon ( but just for the two of us)

Saturday morning visit. Very popular and busy. Good service. Very nice breakfast. The nice interior belies the unattractive exterior appearance. Will certainly return

Up in Bristol for my birthday weekend and I had it all planned out, including, very importantly, a full British isles breakfast that was served all day. I found the Lockside online. Actually physically finding it was another matter however, but once you know it's actually under a flyover, problem solved ! well, great friendly staff, clean modern and comfortable restaurant. Literally the best breakfast ever, a proper clean, quality full monty. My girlfriend who is a bit of a foody went for a strange breakfast concoction and also said it was the best breakfast she had ever had. High praise indeed ! well recommended, we will make a point of returning !

We come here on a regular basis with friends, to catch up and put the world to right. We are always greeted with smiles by the friendly staff. They always seem pleased to see us which is just lovely. There is always a real buzz at breakfast on the weekend, the sounds of others enjoying themselves which is great, but you do need to book well in advance or be disappointed? We are never rushed over our breakfast, and the food is just amazing, prepared with pride and served with love, we never want ours to end, truly. The ingredients are of excellent quality and the coffees are excellent too(& tea!) One day we will admire the views outside but just don't have time because of chatting & listening to others too! Parking is excellent, there is usually space nearby. I think one day we will spend breakfast & lunch there because we are made so welcome, but don't think we could fit all that food in as the portions are excellent but we love the atmosphere though!! Gary and his lovely team need to be congratulated on the consistent warm welcome & food production, amazing, thank you, see you soon.

We popped in on a busy Sunday lunchtime on the off chance. We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff and a good menu. The portion size was enough to feed two hungry diners but I scoffed it all myself!

Spent a lovely few hours with great friends, treated to a belated birthday lunch. My favourite spot for breakfast/brunch, as always Gary and the team never disappoint! The food was delicious and the service warm and friendly, highly recommend this place. Best to book a table on the weekends as it is always full, it’s that good!

I've had breakfast at Lockside a number of times now - and the quality is consistently fantastic.

Arrived for Breakfast with friends, and what a pleasant surprise! Attentive, cheerful staff, delicious food, great menu choices and VERY busy - always a good sign! When we left, just before mid-day, there was a queue at the door, inside and out. Booking is essential I would say. The English Breakfasts, both Vegetarian and usual, was prepared to order, and was very tasty. I plumped for the Greek yoghurt with fresh raspberries, honey and roasted almonds - yuuummmyyyy!! Can't wait to go again!

We've enjoyed a lovely breakfast with friends today at Lockside. The food was brilliant, so much so we didn't want it to finish. Staff attentive but not over the top and a great buzzy atmosphere, with other people enjoying their Sunday morning too.

Come to the lockside to meet my brother reasonably frequently. Very busy and a little cramped, there are too many covers for the size of cafe. Difficult to talk over the noise.

Having heard so much about the breakfasts here we thought we would try lunch. Although breakfasts are all day they have an extensive menu for lunch choices. The food was delicious, very well presented by very pleasant staff. This is much more than the cafe I expected it to be. Although at a very central location under the bridge it was very quiet.

Had a wonderful afternoon at Lockside, Gary and team never disappoint with fabulous service and delicious food. Smoked salmon, Christmas dinner and Christmas pudding, I can’t recommend this place enough, it really is the best. Great atmosphere, fabulous service and wonderful freshly cooked food!

I got a pastel de nata and it was just ok. The top wasn’t caramelized very much. The tart dough was a bit dry as well. I’ve had better pastels de nata in Canada. I will say the service was great and I didn’t have to wait long before I received my order. The price was also good (£1.50).

Wow, just superb. The food was amazing as were the staff, especially Charlotte who was very knowledgeable in the food sources and cooking techniques. 100% recommend.

We had been advised to try out Oz Restaurant by several friends and we were not disappointed. We were made to feel welcome the minute we were through the door and nothing was too much effort. The restaurant itself is modestly furnished - more like a bistro - but that added to the charm. The menu offers a god range of dishes and everything we had was full of flavour and well presented. We chatted to the owner who said they use local food as much as possible and organic where available and in season. Finally, the price was also modest. We will be going back

CAUTION may now be closed: One of a kind, relaxed, informal, unpretentious eatery run by charming owner. Breakfast good, roast beef on Sunday, delectable! Waterfront eating out, on sunny days. If you're by the waterfront, don't walk by, drop in and try something delicious.
